Sam became the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL last year when the St. Louis Rams selected him in the seventh round, but he was among the Rams’ final cuts coming out of training camp. Less than a week after that, Sam signed with the Cowboys, and he stayed on as a member of the practice squad for a month and a half.

Dallas ultimately released Sam to add linebacker depth in October, and we last saw him at the inaugural veteran combine, where he ran a 4.99 40-yard dash.
